Murray earns restful Sunday after good night’s work

ARLINGTON – Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray finally got what he’s been yearning for in the preseason: A solid first-quarter worth of work.

In his busiest preseason performance, the second-year pro from Oklahoma rushed for 26 yards on five carries. He also caught two passes for 16 yards as the Cowboys raced to a 17-3 second-quarter lead en route to a 20-19 win over St. Louis on Saturday night.

“I’m sleeping in tomorrow,” Murray said. “I was out there a little bit more than I was last week, so I definitely felt more comfortable and I was in a rhythm. The offensive line did a great job blocking and created some holes for me and we had a great day as an offense.”
